Great Blue Heron

We went down to Goose Pond south of Linton a few days ago. There was hardly any birds....this Heron was in a drainage ditch. We did not see a single Great Blue Heron on/in any of the ponds.

Red Rose Alley said...: This is a great picture, Rose. I always wondered why they are called Great Blue Heron because they're not really that blue.....but they are handsome. : )
